iPhone 3G S Launch Sales to Exceed 3G Launch?

[carletonguy]

Why would you go during launch day for the 3GS to get a computer?

Wait a few days then go...? Seems like common sense.

it was actually an impulse buy. i have 4 macs... don't really NEED another one. i just gave my older G4 PowerMac to my folks so all I have are laptops. I wanted to get a newer desktop machine, but no longer need (or want) a beast of a computer. A top-tier iMac will suit me fine now. But, the store lost the sale...there was no way I was going to stand in a line just to get in the store when it was empty.

It's probably better for you then to save your money rather than an impulse buy. Next time order online so you can cancel your order before they ship it.

Same here. I bought a 16GB white 3g last year, and i still only use about 3-4GB of it. I'll stick with 16GB until 32GB is the new minimum. No need for more than 10GB for me.. ever, probably.

Whereas I am waiting for the iPhone to hit 64 GB before I upgrade from my 8 GB 1st. gen.

This iPhone OS/App Store thing is still in its infancy. We are going to see many more productive/fun/cool, memory intensive apps. and features in the coming months and years. Go big or go home is my motto on this type of thing. You can always have space but it isn't like the iPhone has user upgradeable drives.

1 Million!

Looks like they sold more than 1 MILLION 3Gs over the weekend, matching or beating the 3G launch.

It was probably all the active international locations that tied the knot.
